Patrice Laliberté

When he was young, Patrice was fascinated by dinosaurs. His dream was to study ancient history and become an archaeologist or to influence modern history by going into politics. His path led him instead to art of telling stories – stories that are for the most part fictional. Since making his debut as a filmmaker, he has written and directed short films and Web series. Founder of the short film festival Plein(s) écran(s) on Facebook, he has even given training sessions on the art of producing Web series. In other words, he never ceases to amaze. We can easily picture him pitching a movie where ultramodern robots fight time-travelling dinosaurs while a social and political crisis rages on in the background.
